Our stay here was mostly great considering the price. The property backs up to the freeway, so light sleepers should beware, and ask for a room toward the front of the motel if available.

The Motel6 in Goleta was better than I expected. The room was very functional and somewhat updated, albeit a bit tight for two people with two beds... AC worked well and for my memories of Motel 6, the hotel (and AC) was quieter than usual. Very pleasant and helpful employees.

Motel 6 Goleta, CA-Santa Barbara is our "go-to" motel when we visit and pick up our daughter from UCSB every year. The rates are reasonable and our room is always clean. We love the room set-up, very cozy. Beds and pillows are so comfortable! Office staff are always friendly and accommodating.

Great little stop, conveniently located next to the freeway and gas stations, cvs, grocery stores and dining facilities. Not far from Downton SB and local beaches .

Impressed with Motel 6. Simple, clean, comfy, & pretty good service. Although, at 10:30 I asked for a late check out for 11:30, which was approved. However, then I had to get out of shower because desk lady forgot she approved & was banging on my door at 11:05.

I booked this room because it was close to the airport as my kids were arriving late and were taking an Uber to the motel. When I arrived, the checkin was friendly, I got the bottom floor that I wanted, the room smelled clean and was clean PLUS it had a microwave, refrigerator, shampoo, lotion, and soap! Not many Motel 6's are this diligent on customer satisfaction. Bonus... food delivery and coffee in the morning! Truly satisfied. Will be staying again soon!

I stayed at the Motel 6 Goleta and this was the best Motel 6 I've stayed at. It was in a convenient location, was clean, comfortable and had lots of potty areas for my dogs. I would definitely recommend it.

Location is very convenient to UCSB, staff friendly, room clean enough and bed comfortable. AC worked, and didn’t experience any noise issues between rooms.
